I feel like asking which way you want to be convinced, then we'll throw all those arguments at you so you can feel happy when you inevitably make the choice.
But seriously, you can go either way. There is, if we're honest, no actual evidence to say that the normal GTI is in any way not awesome or that the DCC GTI is clearly better. Obviously it won't hurt to add DCC but if any of us are looking for a proper informed and objective decision about is it worth the near 800 squids the VW boys want off you, or would it be a bad choice to miss out then, no one has that information. Even the journalists who've driven the cars don't. They haven't driven all the possible options, and even if some eventually do they have all the confirmation bias in the world to ensure they can't give an objective opinion, let alone a quantitative one.
In the end I picked it because I don't want to be riding on a rough surface and think, 'damn, should have got DCC'. Secondly I like playing around with options and I know I'll feel a little sad to play with the software and think that the guys who got PP and DCC have even MORE toys to play with. Is that worth the £1750 for PP and DCC? Probably no, but the money is unreal to me right now as the payment isn't due for 2-3 months and since part of it is coming from a loan the per month cost didn't go up much. Financially that was impulsive and maybe irresponsible, but hey, its fun to splurge occasionally!
I'm probably not helping right?
